A visually remarkable and most stimulating feast at the world that we live in, this series is not to be missed!
Four years in the making, it was the most expensive nature documentary series ever commissioned by the BBC, and also the first to be filmed in high definition.
With a budget of about £40 million, the BBC were going to have to deliver something pretty special to avoid the usual accusations of waste tax payer’s money. With Planet Earth they have easily silenced the critics to present a nature programme that is interesting and education. The biggest selling point is the footage which is simply breath-taking and actually had me saying “wow” at some points. I am not naturally a nature programme viewer but this show had me hooked from episode 1 where a quick glance at the opening minutes had me staying with it for the following eleven weeks. No words can really do it justice but the series gives footage that you won’t have seen anywhere else before!
